Subject: Re: [PATCH] clk: Remove global clk traversal on fetch parent index
Quoting Derek Basehore (2018-12-20 16:31:00)
> It's not required to traverse the entire clk tree when the parents
> array contains a NULL value. You already have the parent clk_core
> pointer, so you can just compare the parent->name and parent_names[i]
> pointers.
>
> In cases where clk names are never registered, this can be
> a substantial power improvement since a mux having an unregistered
> parent name will traverse the clk tree on every set_rate. This can
> happen hundreds of times a second on CPU clks.
